						CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the documents incorporated herein by reference, contains forward-looking statements that anticipate results based on our estimates, assumptions and plans that are subject to uncertainty. These "forward-looking statements" are made subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements consist of, among other things, specific and overall impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic on our financial condition and results of operations and on the markets and communities in which we and our customers and partners operate, trend analyses, statements regarding future events, future financial performance, our anticipated growth, the effect of general economic and market conditions, our business strategy and our plan to build and grow our business, our operating results, our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and technologies, the effect of foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations on our financial results, the impact of expensing stock-based compensation, the sufficiency of our capital resources, our ability to meet our ongoing debt and obligations as they become due, cybersecurity and data protection risks, and potential litigation involving us, all of which are based on current expectations, estimates, and forecasts, and the beliefs and assumptions of our management. Words such as “believes,” “seeks,” “expects,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “intends,” “could,” “would,” “likely,” “will,” “targets,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “aims,” “projects,” “estimates” or any variations of such words and similar expressions are also intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Accordingly, they should not be viewed as assurances of future performance, and actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations expressed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those summarized under ~~“Item~~“Part II, Item 1A. Risk factors” and elsewhere in this report, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016~~2020 and in our other SEC filings.

1. Organization

We are the world’s leading cloud software company powering social good. Serving the entire social good community—nonprofits, ~~foundations, corporations,~~higher education institutions, K–12 schools, healthcare ~~institutions~~organizations, faith communities, arts and cultural organizations, foundations, companies and individual change agents—we connect and empower organizations to increase their impact through cloud software, services, expertise and data intelligence. Our portfolio is tailored to the unique needs of vertical markets, with solutions for fundraising and CRM, marketing, advocacy, peer-to-peer fundraising, corporate social responsibility, school management, ticketing, grantmaking, financial management, payment processing and analytics. Serving the industry for ~~more than three~~nearly four decades, we are headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, and have operations in the United States, Australia, Canada, Costa Rica and the United Kingdom. ~~As of September 30, 2017, we had approximately 35,000 customers.~~



2. Basis of Presentation

Unaudited condensed consolidated interim ~~consolidated~~ financial statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim ~~consolidated~~ financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial reporting. These consolidated statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to state fairly the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S.") ("GAAP"). The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, ~~2016,~~2020 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results and cash flows for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, ~~2017,~~2021, or any other future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations for interim reporting of the SEC. These condensed consolidated interim ~~consolidated~~ financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2020, and other forms filed with the SEC from time to time.

~~Reclassifications~~

Due to the insignificance of our revenue from "license fees and other," we have combined that revenue with our "services" revenue beginning in 2017. In order to provide comparability between periods presented, "services" and "license fees and other" have been combined within "services and other" in the previously reported consolidated statements of comprehensive income to conform to presentation of the current period. Similarly, "cost of services" and "cost of license fees and other" have been combined within "cost of services and other" in the previously reported consolidated statements of comprehensive income to conform to presentation of the current period.

Basis of consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Blackbaud, Inc. and its ~~wholly-owned~~wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

~~Recently adopted accounting pronouncements~~Reportable segment

~~In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09,~~ ~~Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting~~We report our operating results and financial information in one operating and reportable segment. Our chief operating decision maker uses consolidated financial information to make operating decisions, assess financial performance and allocate resources.

Risks and uncertainties related to ~~the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity~~COVID-19

We are subject to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. Under ASU 2017-09, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changesrisks and uncertainties as a result of the ~~change in terms or conditions. ASU 2017-09 is effective for all companies for annual~~global COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that COVID-19 may continue to impact our vertical markets and ~~interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted in any interim period for reporting periods for~~

geographies, but the significance and duration of the impact on our business cannot be determined at this time due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions and business closures, the effectiveness of vaccination programs and other actions taken to contain the disease and other unforeseeable consequences.

There have been no new or material changes to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

~~In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18,~~ ~~Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18")~~, which requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, but any adjustments must be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The new standard must be adopted retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated statements of cash flows.

~~In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02)~~. ASU 2016-02 will require lessees to record most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses in the income statement in a manner similar to current guidance. The updated guidance also eliminates certain real estate-specific provisions and changes the guidance on sale-leaseback transactions, initial direct costs and lease executory costs for all entities. For lessors, the standard modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. All entities will classify leases to determine how to recognize lease-related revenue and expense. Classification will continue to affect amounts that lessors record on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, entities will be required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. We expect ASU 2016-02 will impact our consolidated financial statements and are currently evaluating the extent of the impact that implementation of this standard will have on adoption.

~~In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09)~~. ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The standard also provides guidance on the recognition of costs related to obtaining customer contracts. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and we anticipate using the full retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. As a result of our evaluation to date, we expect that ASU 2014-09 will generally result in the deferral of more costs to obtain a contract over a longer period using the expected period of benefit as compared with our current practice of using our average initial contract term. We also anticipate incremental disclosures, including, but not limited to, the opening and closing balances of contract assets and liabilities, revenue recognized in the reporting period that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period, and the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations at the end of each reporting period including when we expect to recognize that amount.

3. ~~Business Combinations~~

~~AcademicWorks acquisition~~

On April 3, 2017, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock, including all voting equity interests, of AcademicWorks, Inc., a Texas corporation ("AcademicWorks"), pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. AcademicWorks is the market leader in scholarship management for higher education and K-12 institutions, foundations, and grant-making institutions. The acquisition extends our offerings for our higher education, K-12, and corporate and foundation customers. We acquired AcademicWorks for $52.1 million in cash, net of closing adjustments. We financed the acquisition through a draw down of a revolving credit loan under our then-existing credit facility. As a result of the acquisition, AcademicWorks has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. The operating results of AcademicWorks have been included in our consolidated financial statements within our EMG and GMG reportable segments (as defined in Note 14 below) from the date of acquisition. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred insignificant acquisition-related expenses associated with the acquisition of AcademicWorks, which were recorded in general and administrative expense.

The fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the table below are based on our best estimates and assumptions as of the reporting date and are considered preliminary pending finalization. The estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. The assets and liabilities, pending finalization, include the valuation of acquired finite-lived intangible assets as well as the assumed deferred revenue and deferred income tax balances.

(in thousands) Purchase price allocation
Net working capital, excluding deferred revenue $ 2,949
Property and equipment 290
Finite-lived intangible assets 30,900
Deferred revenue (3,950 )
Deferred tax liability (12,350 )
Goodwill 34,305
Total purchase price $ 52,144

The estimated fair value of accounts receivable acquired approximates the contractual value of $1.0 million. The estimated goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the opportunities for expected synergies from combining operations and the assembled workforce of AcademicWorks, with $20.6 million and $13.7 million assigned to our EMG and GMG reportable segments, respectively. None of the goodwill arising in the acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes.

~~The AcademicWorks acquisition resulted in the identification of the following identifiable finite-lived intangible assets:~~

Intangible assets acquired
Weighted average amortization period
AcademicWorks (in thousands)
(in years)
Acquired technology $ 22,500
9
Customer relationships 8,000
15
Marketing assets 320
2
Non-compete agreements 80
3
Total intangible assets $ 30,900
10

The estimated fair values of the finite-lived intangible assets were based on variations of the income approach, which estimates fair value based upon the present value of cash flows that the assets are expected to generate, and which included the relief-from-royalty method, incremental cash flow method, including the comparative (with and without) method and multi-period excess earnings method, depending on the intangible asset being valued. The method of amortization of

~~Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued)~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

identifiable finite-lived intangible assets is based on the expected pattern in which the estimated economic benefits of the respective assets are consumed or otherwise used up. Customer relationships and acquired technology are being amortized on an accelerated basis. Marketing assets and non-compete agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis.

We determined that the impact of this acquisition was not material to our consolidated financial statements; therefore, revenue and earnings since the acquisition date and pro forma information are not required or presented.

4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The change in goodwill ~~for each reportable segment (as defined in Note 14 below)~~ during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2021, consisted of the following:

5.4. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

We compute basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect the assumed exercise, settlement and vesting of all dilutive securities using the “treasury stock method” except when the effect is anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, settlement of stock appreciation rights and vesting of restricted stock awards and units.

Diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was the same as basic loss per share as there was a net loss in the period and inclusion of potentially dilutive securities was anti-dilutive.

6.5. Fair Value Measurements

We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

•Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

•Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

•Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

The fair value of our interest rate swaps was based on model-driven valuations using LIBOR rates, which are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Accordingly, our interest rate swaps are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

~~Our foreign currency forward and option~~ The Financial Conduct Authority in the U.K. has stated that it plans to phase out LIBOR by the end of calendar year 2021. We do not currently anticipate a significant impact to our financial position or results of operations as a result of this action as we expect that our financial contracts are valued using standard calculations/models that use as their basis readily observable market parameters including, foreign currency exchange rates, volatilities, and interest rates.

As LIBOR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals, our debt under the 2020 Credit Facility (as defined below) is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Our fixed rate debt is also classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

We did not transfer any assets or liabilities among the levels within the fair value hierarchy during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2021. Additionally, we did not hold any Level 3 assets or liabilities during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017.~~

Non-recurring fair value measurements

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include long-lived assets, intangible assets, goodwill and ~~goodwill, which~~operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets. These assets are recognized at fair value during the period in which an acquisition is completed or at lease commencement, from updated estimates and assumptions during the measurement period, or when they are considered to be impaired. These non-recurring fair value measurements, primarily for long-lived assets, intangible assets acquired and operating lease ROU assets, are based on Level 3 unobservable inputs. In the event of an impairment, we determine the fair value of ~~the~~these assets other than goodwill ~~and intangible assets~~ using a discounted cash flow approach, which contains significant unobservable inputs and, therefore, is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs in the analysis generally include future cash flow projections and a discount rate. For goodwill impairment testing, we estimate fair value using market-based methods including the use of market capitalization and consideration of a control premium.

There were no non-recurring fair value adjustments to our long-lived assets, intangible assets, goodwill and ~~goodwill~~operating lease ROU assets during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017, except~~March 31, 2021.

~~Financing for AcademicWorks acquisition~~

As discussed in Note 3 to these consolidated financial statements, on April 3, 2017 we acquired AcademicWorks for $52.1 million in cash, net of closing adjustments. We financed the acquisition through a draw down of a revolving credit loan under the 2014 Credit Facility (defined below).

~~2017 refinancing~~

We were previously party to a $325.0 million five-year credit facility entered into during February 2014. The credit facility included: a dollar and a designated currency revolving credit facility with sublimits for letters of credit and swingline loans (the “2014 Revolving Facility”) and a term loan facility (the “2014 Term Loan”), together, (the “2014 Credit Facility”).

In June 2017, we entered into a five-year $700.0 million senior credit facility (the “2017 Credit Facility”). The 2017 Credit Facility includes a $400.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2017 Revolving Facility”) and a $300.0 million term loan facility (the “2017 Term Loan”). Upon closing we drew $300.0 million on a term loan and $110.0 million in revolving credit loans, which was used to repay all amounts outstanding under the 2014 Credit Facility, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the 2017 Credit Facility, and for other general corporate purposes.

Certain lenders of the 2014 Term Loan participated in the 2017 Term Loan and the change in the present value of our future cash flows to these lenders under the 2014 Term Loan and under the 2017 Term Loan was less than 10%. Accordingly, we accounted for the refinancing event for these lenders as a debt modification. Certain lenders of the 2014 Term Loan did not participate in the 2017 Term Loan. Accordingly, we accounted for the refinancing event for these lenders as a debt extinguishment. Certain lenders of the 2014 Revolving Facility participated in the 2017 Revolving Facility and provided increased borrowing capacities. Accordingly, we accounted for the refinancing event for these lenders as a debt modification. Certain lenders of the 2014 Revolving Facility did not participate in the 2017 Revolving Facility. Accordingly, we accounted for the refinancing event for these lenders as a debt extinguishment.

We recorded an insignificant loss on debt extinguishment related to the write-off of debt discount and deferred financing costs for the portions of the 2014 Credit Facility considered to be extinguished. This loss was recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income within other income (expense), net.

In connection with our entry into the 2017 Credit Facility, we paid $3.1 million in financing costs, of which $1.0 million was capitalized in other assets and, together with a portion of the unamortized deferred financing costs from the 2014 Credit Facility and prior facilities, are being amortized into interest expense ratably over the term of the new facility. As of September 30, 2017, deferred financing costs totaling $1.3 million were included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2016, deferred financing costs included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets were insignificant. We recorded aggregate financing costs of $1.8 million as a direct deduction from the carrying

~~Summary of the 2017~~In October 2020, we entered into a five-year $900.0 million senior credit facility (the "2020 Credit ~~Facility~~

The 2017 Revolving Facility includes (i) a $50.0 million sublimit available for the issuance of standby letters of credit, (ii) a $50.0 million sublimit available for swingline loans, and (iii) a $100.0 million sublimit available for multicurrency borrowings.

~~The 2017 Credit Facility is secured by the stock and limited liability company interests of certain of our subsidiaries and any of our material domestic subsidiaries.~~

Amounts borrowed under the dollar tranche revolving credit loans and term loan under the 2017 Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, (a) a base rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and (iii) the Eurocurrency Rate (which varies depending on the currency in which the loan is denominated) plus 1.00% (the “Base Rate”Facility")~~, in addition to a margin of 0.00% to 0.75%, or (b) Eurocurrency Rate plus a margin of 1.00% to 1.75%~~.

~~We also pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion of the 2017 Revolving Facility from 0.15% to 0.25% per annum, depending on our net leverage ratio.~~ At ~~September 30, 2017, the commitment fee was 0.20%.~~

The term loan under the 2017 Credit Facility requires periodic principal payments. The balance of the term loan and any amounts drawn on the revolving credit loans are due upon maturity of the 2017 Credit Facility in June 2022. We evaluate the classification of our debt as current or non-current based on the required annual maturities of the 2017 Credit Facility.

The 2017 Credit Facility includes financial covenants related to the net leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, as well as restrictions on our ability to declare and pay dividends and our ability to repurchase shares of our common stock. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with our debt covenants under the ~~2017~~2020 Credit Facility.

9.8. Derivative Instruments

Cash flow hedges

We generally use derivative instruments to manage our variable interest rate risk. ~~In March 2014, we~~We have entered into an interest rate swap ~~agreement (the "March 2014 Swap Agreement"),~~agreements, which effectively ~~converts~~convert portions of our variable rate debt under ~~our credit facility~~the 2020 Credit Facility to a fixed rate for the term of the swap ~~agreement. The initial notional value~~agreements. We designated each of the March 2014 Swap Agreement was $125.0 million with an effective date beginning in March 2014. In March 2017, the notional value of the March 2014 Swap Agreement decreased to $75.0 million for the remaining term through February 2018. We designated the March 2014 Swap Agreementinterest rate swap agreements as a cash flow hedge at the inception of the ~~contract.~~

In October 2015, we entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement (the "October 2015 Swap Agreement"), which effectively converts portions of our variable rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed rate for the term of the October 2015 Swap Agreement. The notional value of the October 2015 Swap Agreement was $75.0 million with an effective date beginning in October 2015 and maturing in February 2018. We designated the October 2015 Swap Agreement as a cash flow hedge at the inception of the contract.

In July 2017, we entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement (the "July 2017 Swap Agreement"), which effectively converts portions of our variable rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed rate for the term of the swap agreement. The notional value of the July 2017 Swap Agreement was $150.0 million with an effective date beginning in July 2017 through July 2021. We designated the July 2017 Swap Agreement as a cash flow hedge at the inception of the contract.

~~Undesignated contracts~~

In June 2017, we entered into a foreign currency option contract to hedge our exposure to currency fluctuations in connection with our acquisition of JustGiving because the purchase price was denominated in British Pounds. The notional value of the instrument was £100.0 million with an effective date beginning in June 2017 and maturing in September 2017. We settled the foreign currency option contract in September 2017. We did not designate the foreign currency option contract as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes since it involved a business combination. As such, changes in the fair value of this derivative are recognized currently in earnings. The insignificant premium paid for this option and the $1.0 million in proceeds from the settlement are shown within cash flows from investing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

As the closing date of our acquisition of JustGiving extended beyond the settlement date of the foreign currency option contract, we entered into a foreign currency forward contract in September 2017 with settlement in October 2017. The notional value of the instrument was £103.5 million. We did not designate the foreign currency forward contract as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes since it involved a business combination. As such, changes in the fair value of this derivative are recognized currently in earnings.

Our policy requires that derivatives used for hedging purposes be designated and effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains or losses from the change in fair value measurement of our derivative instruments each reporting period and the related income tax expense or benefit. Changes in the fair value measurements of the derivative instruments and the related income tax expense or benefit are reflected as adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the actual hedged expense is incurred or until the hedge is terminated at which point the unrealized gain (loss) is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to current earnings. The estimated accumulated other comprehensive ~~income~~loss as of ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2021 that is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months is ~~insignificant.~~$2.2 million.

Leases

~~Total~~We have operating leases for corporate offices, subleased offices and certain equipment and furniture. As of March 31, 2021, we had operating leases for office space that had not yet commenced with future rent payments of $3.5 million. These operating leases are expected to commence during 2021 with lease terms of 3 years.

The components of lease expense was $3.8 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $11.9 million and $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The quarterly South Carolina state incentive payments we receivedwere as ~~a result of locating our headquarters facility in Berkeley County, South Carolina, ended in the fourth quarter of 2016. These amounts~~follows:

Other commitments

The term loans under the ~~2017~~2020 Credit Facility require periodic principal payments. The balance of the term loans and any amounts drawn on the revolving credit loans are due upon maturity of the ~~2017~~2020 Credit Facility in ~~June 2022.~~October 2025. The Real Estate Loans also require periodic principal payments and the balance of the Real Estate Loans are due upon maturity in April 2038.

We have contractual obligations for third-party technology used in our solutions and for other services we purchase as part of our normal operations. In certain cases, these arrangements require a minimum annual purchase commitment by us. As of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2021, the remaining aggregate minimum purchase commitment under these arrangements was approximately ~~$51.9~~$79.0 million through ~~2021.~~2024.

Solution and service indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, we provide certain indemnifications of varying scope to customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of our solutions or services. If we determine that it is probable that a loss has been incurred related to solution or service indemnifications, any such loss that could be reasonably estimated would be recognized. We have not identified any losses and, accordingly, we have not recorded a liability related to these indemnifications.

Legal proceedings

We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of ~~business.~~business, as well as certain other non-ordinary course proceedings, claims and inquiries, as described below. We make a provision for a loss contingency when it is both probable that a material liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. ~~These~~If only a range of estimated losses can be determined, we accrue an amount within the range that, in our judgment, reflects the most likely outcome; if none of the estimates within that range is a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue the low end of the range.

If such a loss or range of losses is not reasonably estimable, we disclose that fact.

Legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable. However, we believe that we have valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending or threatened against ~~us.~~us and intend to defend ourselves vigorously against all claims asserted. We further believe that the amount or range of reasonably possible losses related to such pending or threatened legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows, or financial condition should such litigation be resolved unfavorably. It is possible, nevertheless, that our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially negatively affected in any particular period by an unfavorable resolution of one or more of such legal proceedings.

Security incident

As previously disclosed, we are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of a ransomware attack against us in May 2020 in which a cybercriminal removed a copy of a subset of data from our self-hosted environment (the "Security Incident"). Based on the nature of the Security Incident, our research and third party (including law enforcement) investigation, we have no reason to believe that any data went beyond the cybercriminal, was or will be misused, or will be disseminated or otherwise made available publicly. Our investigation into the Security Incident by our cybersecurity team and third-party forensic advisors remains ongoing.

As a result of the Security Incident, we are currently subject to certain legal proceedings, claims, inquiries and investigations, as discussed below, and could be the subject of additional legal proceedings, claims, inquires and investigations in the future that might result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, or ~~investigations.~~other resolution. To limit our exposure to losses related to claims against us, including data breaches such as the Security Incident, we maintain $50 million of insurance above a $250 thousand deductible payable by us. As noted below, this coverage has reduced our financial exposure related to the Security Incident, and we will continue to seek recoveries under these insurance policies. Although it is possible that total losses related to the Security Incident will ultimately exceed the limits of our insurance coverage, we are currently unable to determine if or when that will be the case and, if so, the approximate amount or range of any such excess.

In the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded $12.8 million of expenses related to the Security Incident and offsetting probable insurance recoveries of $12.8 million. As of March 31, 2021, we have recorded cumulative expenses related to the Security Incident of $22.6 million and cumulative probable insurance recoveries of $22.1 million. Due to the time required to submit and process such insurance claims, we have not yet received all of the accrued insurance recoveries. Of the insurance recoveries recorded, $6.4 million had been paid as of March 31, 2021. Recorded expenses consisted primarily of payments to third-party service providers and consultants, including legal fees. We present expenses and insurance recoveries related to the Security Incident in general and administrative expense on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We expect to continue to experience significant expenses related to our response to the Security Incident, resolution of legal proceedings, claims, inquiries and investigations discussed below, and our efforts to further enhance our security measures, which expenses may be material.

Based on our analysis of the factors described above, we have not recorded a liability related to the Security Incident as of March 31, 2021 because we are unable at this time to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss.

Customer claims. To date, we have received approximately 630 claims for reimbursement of expenses from customers or their attorneys in the U.S., U.K. and Canada related to the Security Incident (none of which have as yet been filed in court or in arbitration). Possible exposure could result from our customers’ costs and expenses associated with notifying their own customers of the Security Incident and taking steps to assure that personal information has not been compromised as a result of the Security Incident. We are in the process of analyzing individual customer contracts into which we have entered, the specific claims made and applicable law.

Customer constituent class actions. Presently, we are a defendant in 30 putative consumer class action cases [27 in U.S. federal courts (some of which have been consolidated under multi district litigation to a single federal court), 1 in a U.S. state court and 2 in Canadian courts] alleging harm from the Security Incident. The plaintiffs in these cases, who purport to represent various classes of individual constituents of our customers, generally claim to have been harmed by

(Unaudited)

alleged actions and/or omissions by us in connection with the Security Incident and assert a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees, and other related relief.

Lawsuits that are putative class actions require a plaintiff to satisfy a number of procedural requirements before proceeding to trial. These requirements include, among others, demonstration to a court that the law proscribes in some manner our activities, the making of factual allegations sufficient to suggest that our activities exceeded the limits of the law and a determination by the court—known as class certification—that the law permits a group of individuals to pursue the case together as a class. If these procedural requirements are not met, the lawsuit cannot proceed as a class action and the plaintiff may lose the financial incentive to proceed with the case. Frequently, a court’s determination as to these procedural requirements is subject to appeal to a higher court. As a result of these uncertainties, we may be unable to determine the probability of loss until, or after, a court has finally determined that a plaintiff has satisfied the applicable class action procedural requirements.

Furthermore, for putative class actions, it is often not possible to estimate the possible loss or a range of loss amounts, even where we have determined that a loss is reasonably possible. Generally, class actions involve a large number of people and raise complex legal and factual issues that result in uncertainty as to their outcome and, ultimately, making it difficult for us to estimate the amount of damages that a plaintiff might successfully prove. This analysis is further complicated by the fact that the plaintiffs lack contractual privity with us.

Governmental inquiries and investigations. To date, we have received a consolidated, multi-state Civil Investigative Demand issued on behalf of 47 state Attorneys General and the District of Columbia and a separate Civil Investigative Demand from the office of the Illinois Attorney General’s Office relating to the Security Incident. In addition, we have received communications, inquires and requests from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Information Commissioner’s Office in the United Kingdom (the “ICO”) under the U.K. Data Protection Act 2018, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. We are cooperating with these offices and responding to their inquiries, which include various requests for documents, policies, narratives and communications, as well as requests to interview or depose various Company-related personnel. As noted above, each of these separate governmental inquiries and investigations could result in adverse judgements, settlements, fines, penalties, or other resolution, the amount, scope and timing of which we are currently unable to predict, but could be material.

Most of our equity awards are granted during our first quarter and vest in subsequent years during the same quarter.

Stock repurchase program

In November 2020, our Board of Directors reauthorized and expanded a stock repurchase program that authorizes us to purchase up to $250.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. The program does not have an expiration date. Under the stock repurchase program, we are authorized to repurchase shares from time to time in accordance with applicable laws both on the open market, including under trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of repurchases depends on several factors, including market and business conditions, the trading price of our common stock and the nature of other investment opportunities. The repurchase program may be limited, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Under the 2020 Credit Facility, we have restrictions on our ability to repurchase shares of our common stock.

We account for purchases of treasury stock under the cost method. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we purchased 465,821 shares for $28.1 million. The remaining amount available to purchase stock under the stock repurchase program was $180.9 million as of March 31, 2021.

~~Dividends~~

Our Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy, which provides for the distribution to stockholders of a portion of cash generated by us that is in excess of operational needs and capital expenditures. The 2017 Credit Facility limits the amount of dividends payable and certain state laws restrict the amount of dividends distributed.

In February 2017, our Board of Directors approved an annual dividend rate of $0.48 per share to be made in quarterly payments. Dividend payments are not guaranteed and our Board of Directors may decide, in its absolute discretion, at any time and for any reason, not to declare and pay further dividends. The following table provides information with respect to quarterly dividends of $0.12 per share paid on common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations

As of March 31, 2021, approximately $776 million of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 60% of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the remainder recognized thereafter.

We applied the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 and have excluded the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less (one-time services); and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed (transactional revenue).

Contract balances

Our contract assets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were insignificant. Our opening and closing balances of deferred revenue were as follows:


(in thousands)	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020

Total deferred revenue	$	294,520	$	316,914

The decrease in deferred revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to a seasonal decrease in customer contract renewals. Historically, due to the timing of customer budget cycles, we have an increase in customer contract renewals at or near the beginning of our third quarter generally resulting in our lowest balance of deferred revenue at the end of our first quarter. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period was approximately

In light of the ongoing and anticipated increasing centralization of our operations, including without limitation marketing, customer support, customer success and professional services, we are evaluating whether changes may need to be made to our internal reporting structure to better support and assess the operations of our business going forward. If changes are made, we will assess the resulting effect on our reportable segments, operating segments and reporting units, if any.

~~15. Subsequent Events~~

~~JustGiving acquisition~~

On October 2, 2017, Blackbaud Global Limited (“Blackbaud Global”), a United Kingdom limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, acquired the entire issued share capital, including all voting equity interests, of Giving Limited, a United Kingdom private limited company doing business as “JustGiving” for an aggregate purchase price of £95.0 million, or approximately $127.4 million, in cash, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the stock purchase agreement. JustGiving is a market leading social platform for giving, and the acquisition is expected to enhance our capabilities to serve both individual donors and nonprofits, expanding the peer-to-peer fundraising capabilities we offer today. As a result of the acquisition, JustGiving has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. We will include the operating results of JustGiving as well as the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred acquisition-related expenses associated with the acquisition of JustGiving of $0.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively, which are recorded in general and administrative expense. Due to the timing of the transaction, the initial accounting for this acquisition, including the measurement of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and goodwill, is not complete and is pending detailed analyses of the facts and circumstances that existed as of the October 2, 2017 acquisition date.

On October 2, 2017, we borrowed $138.7 million pursuant to a revolving credit loan under the 2017 Credit Facility to finance the acquisition of JustGiving. Following the borrowing, approximately $178.6 million was outstanding under the revolving credit loans with approximately $169.8 million of available borrowing capacity under the 2017 Credit Facility.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion and analysis presents financial information denominated in millions of dollars which can lead to differences from rounding when compared to similar information contained in the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes which are primarily denominated in thousands of dollars.



Executive Summary

Our revenue is primarily generated from the following sources: (i) charging for the use of our software solutions in ~~cloud-based~~cloud and hosted environments; (ii) providing ~~transaction~~payment and ~~payment processing~~other transactional-type services; (iii) providing software maintenance and support services; and (iv) providing professional services, including implementation, consulting, training, ~~consulting,~~ analytic and other ~~services;~~services.

If our existing and ~~(iv) providing software maintenance~~prospective customers remain cautious in their purchase decisions, our operating environment may continue to be challenging for the remainder of 2021 and ~~support services.~~potentially beyond. Notwithstanding these conditions, we remain focused on continuing to execute our four-point strategy and strengthening our leadership position.

~~During~~As expected and previously disclosed, our bookings shortfalls that began at the ~~third~~start of the pandemic in March 2020 are putting pressure on our contractual recurring revenue growth in the near-term. However, we are optimistic this pressure will abate as we progress through 2021.

Four-Point Strategy

~~Deliver Integrated and Open Solutions in the Cloud~~1

We continue to transition our business to predominantly serve customers through a subscription-based cloud delivery model, enabling lower cost of entry, greater scalability and lower total cost of ownership to our customers. We continue to optimize our portfolio of solutions and integrate powerful capabilities — such as built in data, analytics, artificial intelligence, payment processing and tailored user-specific experiences — to bring even greater value and performance to our customers.

The Blackbaud SKY™ cloud platform is allowing us to innovate at a more rapid pace, including delivering enhanced integrated analytics capabilities that surface directly in our customers’ software through SKY AI and SKY Analytics—components of our broader Intelligence for Good approach that combines AI, analytics, one of the industry’s most robust data sets and expertise to drive powerful insights for our customers. These embedded, cloud-delivered insights provide high impact, workflow-integrated intelligence that drives fundraising, advocacy, event participation and other purpose driven constituent interactions.

~~At our annual user conference,~~ ~~bbcon,~~ we announced a joint-partnership with Microsoft to couple together Microsoft's horizontal solutions with our industry-leading vertical solutions. We now intend to fully power Blackbaud SKY in the Microsoft Azure environment, and we will become a Cloud Solution Provider Partner for the Microsoft platform.

~~Drive Sales Effectiveness~~2

Lead with World Class Teams and Operations

We continue to invest in a world-class sales organization to accelerate revenue growth and penetrate our large and expanding total addressable market ("TAM"), which is currently estimated to be over $7.0 billion. During the first three quarters of 2017, we created a new Senior Vice President of Global Sales position to lead this effort across the organization and we have focused on enabling our expanding sales teams with training, processes, and tools to improve effectiveness and drive revenue growth. The further development of our customer success program is allowing our sales teams to focus on closing sales rather than account management. The move to selling pre-integrated solution suites instead of individual point-solutions continues to be successful, and we have furthered our go-to-market shift with a concentrated sales focus by sub-vertical, including K-12 private schools, foundations, corporations, arts & cultural, higher education and healthcare.


3.	~~Expand TAM into Near Adjacencies through Acquisitions~~3	Delight Customers with Innovative Cloud Solutions

	4	Focus on Employees, Culture and ~~Product Investments~~ESG Initiatives

We continue to evaluate compelling opportunities to acquire companies, technologies and/or services. We are guided by our acquisition criteria for considering attractive assets that expand our TAM, provide entry into new and near adjacencies, accelerate our shift to the cloud, accelerate revenue growth, are accretive to margins and present synergistic opportunities.

During the third quarter, we launched Blackbaud Labs as a means to incubate new ideas and foster our strong culture of innovation and creativity within Blackbaud, with the sole focus of bringing new capabilities to market organically. We previously announced the promotion of our new Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy and Business Development, who led the effort for many of our acquisitions, including AcademicWorks in April 2017 and, most recently, JustGiving.1.Expand Total Addressable Market ("TAM")

AcademicWorks is the market leader in scholarship management for higher education and K-12 institutions, foundations, and grant-making institutions. Their cloud platform enables students to apply for all awards at an institution using one intuitive and streamlined process, while offering schools and awarding institutions a common platform for improved awarding, reporting, compliance, communication and stewardship of those awards. Additional details regarding our acquisition of AcademicWorks are provided in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in this report. During the third quarter, we focused on integrating AcademicWorks' solutions and operations as well as cross-selling.

In October 2017, we closed our acquisition of the United Kingdom-based online fundraising services provider JustGiving, whose online social giving platform has played a powerful role in the growth of peer-to-peer fundraising. The acquisition enhances our capability to serve both individual donors and nonprofits, expanding the peer-to-peer fundraising capabilities we currently offer today through TeamRaiser and everydayhero, which are used by leading nonprofit organizations to connect their causes to the individuals who support them. JustGiving also adds personal crowdfunding to our portfolio, which is an offering we did not previously provide and a fast growing segment of charitable giving. Additional details regarding our acquisition of JustGiving are provided below and in Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements in this report.

~~Both AcademicWorks and JustGiving meet the acquisition criteria discussed above.~~ We remain active in the evaluation of ~~acquisition~~ opportunities to ~~broaden~~further expand our ~~portfolio, provide better integrated solutions for our customers, differentiate ourselves from the competition~~addressable market through acquisitions and ~~improve our financial performance.~~

Since setting that goal, we have improved margins annually, inclusive of heightened investments to drive future growth and in the midst of migrating our customer base to the cloud. We expect to deliver on our goal, and we see future opportunity ahead to further improve profitability through the infrastructure investments we have made in our back office for scale, focus on operational excellence, and achieving our productivity initiatives.

We have included the results of operations of AcademicWorks in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. We determined that the AcademicWorks acquisition was not a material business combination; therefore, revenue and earnings since the acquisition date are not required or presented.

2.Lead with World Class Teams and Operations

This strategy expands upon our previous strategies to drive sales effectiveness and improve operating efficiency to include improving overall company performance as measured by the Rule of 40 (see discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below). We have a strong executive team that is delivering on our mission and executing on our strategy. We have talent across our company, at every level, who are aligned with these goals as well.

3.Delight Customers with Innovative Cloud Solutions

2020 required unprecedented speed and scale to support our customers, and we were quick to reprioritize and expedite product enhancements to support our customers' changing needs as they needed to operate more digitally. We have carried that momentum into 2021. For example, we upgraded virtually all of our Blackbaud Grantmaking customers to a new SKY UX version in just one month's time. This helps alleviate our customers' IT burden, improves data security with multi-factor authentication and provides freedom and flexibility to access advanced grant management technology anywhere via any browser on any device. With more veteran grantmakers using mobile technology and a younger generation of grantmakers emerging in the philanthropic community, providing convenient access to grant data and grant management tools will continue to be critical for success. Blackbaud plays a critical role in accelerating our customers' move to the cloud. In higher education, with the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating the need for powerful cloud-based systems that allow for easier collaboration, Blackbaud CRM has been the trusted CRM solution for a growing number of institutions to support their overall advancement needs.

4.Focus on Employees, Culture and ESG Initiatives

During the first quarter of 2021, we elevated a specific strategy focused on employees, culture and ESG initiatives. This is not new for us. It is something that has been in our DNA for a long time and is a big advantage as we look to attract and retain top talent. This is evident in our 2020 social responsibility report, which was released in April 2021, and demonstrates how we responded to the unique challenges the pandemic created for our employees, customers, and communities. We also expanded this year's report to include voluntary ESG reporting disclosures that align with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board and Global Reporting Initiative. One highlight from the report is that the Company is comprised of 46% female employees and 54% male employees, which is an industry-leading ratio. We are fully committed to continuing to create a diverse and inclusive environment at all levels of the organization.

In general, our NXT and other cloud-based solutions require less implementation services, which we expect to continue to negatively impact services and other revenue over time. In addition, we have also used promotions and discounts for our consulting services as incentives to accelerate the migration of our existing customer base from on-premises solutions toward our cloud-based subscriptions. In the near-term, the transition to subscription-based solutions also negatively impacts total revenue growth, as time-based revenue from subscription arrangements is deferred and recognized ratably over the subscription period, typically three years at contract inception, whereas on-premises license revenue from arrangements that include perpetual licenses is recognized up-front.following:

The positive impact of growth in total revenue~~2020, driven by subscriptions as discussed above was partially offset primarily by investments we are making in our sales organization and customer success program and, to a lesser extent, increases in stock based compensation expense of $2.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively, rent expense of $0.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and net increases in acquisition-related expenses and integration costs of $0.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively. An increase of $2.5 million in employee severance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 also negatively impacted income from operations. The increase in rent expense was primarily drivenlargely by the end in the fourth quarter of 2016 of the South Carolina state incentive payments we received as a result of locating our headquarters facility in Berkeley County, South Carolina. These amounts were recorded as a reduction of rent expense upon receipt. Also contributing to the increase in rent expense were new operating leases for equipment that we have historically purchased.following:

~~Customer retention~~


			-						Increase in stock-based compensation costs of $16.4 million due to: •replacement of our annual cash bonus plans with a short-term performance-based equity award plan; •increases in the grant date fair values of our annual equity awards granted to employees; •in response to COVID-19, replacement of our 2020 base salary merit increases with one-year time-based equity awards; •overall Company performance against 2020 goals; and •decrease in the vesting period for our annual long-term incentive time-based equity awards from 4 years (1/4 per year) to 3 years (1/3 per year), beginning in February 2021.
			-						Decrease in total revenue, as described above

			+						Decrease in compensation costs other than stock-based compensation of $12.7 million primarily due to a decrease in headcount

To a much lesser extent, GMG subscriptions revenue growth was also driven by increases in the number of customers and the volume of transactions for which we process payments. We expect that the ongoing shift in our go-to-market strategy towards cloud-based subscription offerings, which, in general, require less implementation services will continue to negatively impact both services and other revenue and maintenance revenue over time.

Recurring revenue is comprised of ~~revenue from charging~~fees for the use of our subscription-based software solutions, which includes providing access to ~~cloud-based~~cloud solutions, ~~and~~ hosting services, ~~access~~online training programs, subscription-based analytic services, such as donor acquisitions and data enrichment, and payment services. Recurring revenue also includes fees from maintenance services for our on-premises solutions, services included in our renewable subscription contracts, retained and managed services contracts that we expect to ~~certain data services~~have a term consistent with our cloud solution contracts, and ~~our online subscription training offerings, revenue from payment processing services, as well as~~ variable transaction revenue associated with the use of our solutions.

We continue to experience growth in sales of our cloud-based solutions and hosting services as we meet the demand of our customers that increasingly prefer cloud-based subscription offerings, including existing customers that are migrating from on-premises solutions to our cloud-based solutions. In addition, we have experienced growth in our payment processing services from the continued shift to online giving, further integration of these services to our existing solution portfolio and the sale of these services to new and existing customers. Recurring subscriptions contracts are typically for a term of three years at contract inception with one to three year renewals thereafter. We intend to continue focusing on innovation, quality and integration of our subscription solutions, which we believe will drive subscriptions revenue growth.

Cost of ~~subscriptions~~recurring revenue is primarily comprised of compensation costs for customer support and production IT personnel, hosting and data center costs, third-party contractor expenses, third-party royalty and data ~~expenses, hosting~~ expenses, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, amortization of intangible assets from business combinations, amortization of software development costs, transaction-based costs related to payments services including remittances of amounts due to third-parties and other costs incurred in providing support and recurring services to our customers.

~~The increases in subscriptions revenue during the three~~Our customers continue to prefer cloud subscription offerings with integrated analytics, training and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were primarily due to strong demand across our cloud-based solution portfolio, and, to a much lesser extent, increases in the number of customers and the volume of transactions for which we process payments.

The increases in cost of subscriptions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were primarily due to increases in transaction-based costs related to our payments services of $4.7 million and $12.4 million, respectively and increases in the cost of third-party technology embedded in certain of ourpayment services. Recurring subscription solutions of $1.5 million and $4.8 million. Partially offsetting the increase in cost of subscriptions during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was a decrease in third-party contractor expenses of $1.5 million.

The increases in subscriptions gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were primarily the result of the positive economics of shifting customers to our next generation cloud-based solutions as growth in subscriptions revenue outpaced the growth in related costs. The results of AcademicWorks did not significantly impact our subscriptions gross margins for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

~~The decreases in maintenance~~Recurring revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were primarily comprised of (i) reductions in maintenance from contracts that were migrated to a cloud-based subscriptionincreased by $1.9 million or not renewed and reductions in contracts with existing customers of $9.2 million and $25.7 million, respectively; partially offset by (ii) incremental maintenance from new customers associated with new license contracts and increases in contracts with existing customers of $4.3 million and $12.1 million, respectively; and (iii) insignificant amounts of incremental maintenance from contractual inflationary rate adjustments.

Analytic services are comprised of donor prospect research, sales of lists of potential donors, benchmarking studies and data modeling services. These analytic services involve the assessment of current and prospective donor information of the customer and are performed using our proprietary analytical tools.

Cost of one-time services and other decreased by $0.8 million, or 5.2%, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, when compared to the same periods in ~~2016,~~2020, driven primarily ~~due to decreases in consulting revenue and, to a lesser extent, declines in analytics revenue and license fees revenue.

One-time services and other revenue over time. We have also used promotions and discounts for our consulting services as incentives to accelerate the migration of our existing customer base from on-premises solutions toward our cloud-based subscriptions. The maturation of our Blackbaud Enterprise CRM solution is lessening the extent of implementation services required for that solution. In addition, we are increasingly selling our Blackbaud CRM solution as a subscription offering, which has resulted in less license fees revenue.

~~The increases in general~~During the third quarter of 2020, we adjusted our workforce strategy to provide more flexibility to our employees after our offices reopen and we expect to have more employees working remotely either part-time or full-time, even within our hub locations.

To the extent that our customers are billed for our solutions and services in advance of delivery, we record such amounts in deferred revenue. Our recurring revenue contracts are generally for a term of three years at contract inception, billed annually in advance, and non-cancelable. We have been for several years successfully shifting our legacy customer base away from annual renewals and moving them onto multi-year renewal contracts. We generally invoice our ~~subscription and maintenance~~ customers with recurring revenue contracts in annual cycles 30 days prior to the end ~~of the contract term.~~ each one-year period.

Deferred revenue from ~~subscriptions increased~~recurring revenue contracts decreased during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2021, primarily due ~~to an increase in subscription sales, as well as~~ a seasonal ~~increase~~decrease in ~~subscription~~ customer contract renewals. Historically, due to the timing of customer budget cycles, we have an increase in customer contract renewals at or near the beginning of our third quarter, which generally results in our ~~second quarter as compared to our fourth quarter. The increase in~~lowest balance of deferred revenue at the end of our first quarter. Deferred revenue from one-time services and other during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily the result of an increase in training sales and related billings. A seasonal increase in advance registration billings associated with our ~~bbcon~~ user conference, which occurs each year in October, also contributed to the increase in deferred revenue from services and other. The decrease in deferred revenue attributable to maintenance during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to the continuing shift in our go-to-market strategy towards cloud-based subscription offerings, which do not require maintenance contracts.

We have acquired businesses whose net tangible assets include deferred revenue. In accordance with GAAP reporting requirements, we recorded write-downs of deferred revenue from customer arrangements predating the acquisition to fair value, which resulted in lower recorded deferred revenue as of the acquisition date than the actual amounts paid in advance for solutions and services under those customer arrangements. Therefore, our deferred revenue after an acquisition will not reflect the full amount of deferred revenue that would have been reported if the acquired deferred revenue was not written down to fair value. Further explanation of this impact is included below under the caption "Non-GAAP financial measures".

The increase in our effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021, when compared to the same period in ~~2016.~~2020, was primarily attributable to higher 2021 discrete tax expense against lower pre-tax income.

Non-GAAP ~~financial measures~~Financial Measures

The operating results analyzed below are presented on a non-GAAP basis. We use non-GAAP ~~revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share~~financial measures internally in analyzing our operational performance. Accordingly, we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. While we believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies.

We have acquired businesses whose net tangible assets include deferred revenue. In accordance with GAAP reporting requirements, we recorded write-downs of deferred revenue under arrangements predating the acquisition to fair value, which resulted in lower recognized revenue than the contributed purchase price until the related obligations to provide services under such arrangements are fulfilled. Therefore, our GAAP revenues after the acquisitions will not reflect the full amount of revenue that would have been reported if the acquired deferred revenue was not written down to fair value. The non-GAAP measures described below reverse the acquisition-related deferred revenue write-downs so that the full amount of revenue booked by the acquired companies is included, which we believe provides a more accurate representation of a revenue run-rate in a given period and, therefore, will provide more meaningful comparative results in future periods.

The non-GAAP financial measures discussed below exclude the impact of certain transactions because we believe they are not directly related to our operating performance in any particular period, but are for our long-term benefit over multiple periods. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in our business.

~~(1)~~	~~The individual amounts for each year may not sum to subtotal, non-GAAP income from operations or non-GAAP net income due to rounding.~~


~~(2)~~	We apply a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 32.0% in our determination of non-GAAP net income, which represents the GAAP effective tax rate, excluding the discrete tax effect of stock-based compensation.

The increases in non-GAAP income from operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were primarily due to growth in subscriptions revenue, partially offset by investments we are making in our sales organization and customer success program and, to a lesser extent, increases in rent expense, which are discussed above.

Non-GAAP organic revenue growth

In addition, we discuss non-GAAP organic revenue growth, non-GAAP organic revenue growth on a constant currency basis ~~non-GAAP organic subscriptions revenue growth~~ and non-GAAP organic recurring revenue growth, ~~which we~~in analyzing our operating performance. We believe ~~provides~~that these non-GAAP measures are useful ~~information~~to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, for evaluating the periodic growth of our business on a consistent basis. Each of these measures of non-GAAP organic revenue growth excludes incremental acquisition-related revenue attributable to companies acquired in the current fiscal year. For companies, if any, acquired in the immediately preceding fiscal year, each of these non-GAAP organic revenue growth measures reflects presentation of full year incremental non-GAAP revenue derived from such companies as if they were combined throughout the prior period, and ~~it includes~~they include the non-GAAP revenue attributable to those companies, as if there were no acquisition-related write-downs of acquired deferred revenue to fair value as required by GAAP. In addition, each of these non-GAAP organic revenue growth measures excludes prior period revenue associated with divested businesses. The exclusion of the prior period revenue is to present the results of the divested businesses within the results of the combined company for the same period of time in both the prior and current periods. We believe this presentation provides a more comparable representation of our current business’ organic revenue growth and revenue run-rate.

Seasonality

Our revenues normally fluctuate as a result of certain seasonal variations in our business. Our ~~transaction~~first quarter has historically been the seasonal low for bookings, with the second and fourth quarters historically being seasonally higher, and our bookings tend to be back-end loaded within individual quarters given our quarterly quota plans. Transactional revenue is non-contractual and less predictable given the susceptibility to certain drivers such as timing and number of events and marketing campaigns, as well as fluctuations in donation volumes and tuition payments. Our transactional revenue has historically been at its lowest in the first quarter due to the timing of customer fundraising initiatives and events. ~~Our revenue from payment processing services has~~We have historically ~~increased~~experienced seasonal highs during the fourth quarter due to year-end ~~giving.~~giving campaigns and during the second quarter when a large number of events are held. Our revenue from professional services has historically been lower in the first quarter when many of those services commence and in the fourth quarter due to the holiday season. As a result of these and other factors, our total revenue has historically been lower in the first quarter than in the remainder of our fiscal year, with the ~~third and~~ fourth ~~quarters~~quarter historically achieving the highest total ~~revenues.~~revenue. Our expenses, however, do not vary significantly as a result of these factors, but do fluctuate on a quarterly basis due to varying timing of expenditures.

Our cash flow from operations normally fluctuates quarterly due to the combination of the timing of customer contract renewals including renewals associated with customers of acquired companies, delivery of professional services and occurrence of customer events, ~~the payment of bonuses,~~ as well as merit-based salary increases, among other factors. Historically, due to lower revenues in our first quarter, combined with the payment of ~~bonuses from the prior year in our first quarter,~~certain annual vendor contracts, our cash flow from operations has been lowest in

our first ~~quarter, and due~~quarter. Due to the timing of customer contract renewals and student enrollments, many of which take place at or near the beginning of our third quarter, our cash flow from operations has been lower in our second quarter as compared to our third and fourth quarters. Partially offsetting these favorable drivers of cash flow from operations in our third and fourth quarters are ~~merit-based~~base salary merit increases, which were replaced in 2020 with performance-based equity awards due to COVID-19, but are ~~generally effective~~expected to return in ~~April each year.~~July 2021. In addition, deferred revenues can vary on a seasonal basis for the same reasons. Our cash flow from financing is negatively impacted in our first quarter when most of our equity awards vest, as we pay taxes on behalf of our employees related to the settlement or exercise of equity awards. During the second quarter of 2021, we expect an increase in the amount taxes we pay on behalf of our employees related to the settlement of equity awards when compared to the same period in 2020, as the equity granted in May 2020 in lieu of cash bonus plans and base salary merit increases will vest. These patterns may change as a result of the continued shift to online giving, growth in volume of transactions for which we process payments, or as a result of acquisitions, new market opportunities, new solution introductions, the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors. Our cash flow from financing is negatively impacted in our first quarter when most of our equity awards vest, as we pay taxes on behalf of our employees related to the settlement or exercise of equity awards.

Dividend payments are not guaranteed and our Board of Directors may decide, in its absolute discretion, at any time and for any reason, not to declare and pay further dividends and/or repurchase our common stock.obligations. To the extent we undertake future material acquisitions, investments or unanticipated capital expenditures, we may require additional capital. In that context, we regularly evaluate opportunities to enhance our capital structure including through potential debt or equity issuances.

At ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2021, our total cash and cash equivalents balance included approximately ~~$7.5~~$16.6 million of cash that was held by operations outside the U.S. While these funds may not be needed to fund our U.S. operations for at least the next twelve months, if we need these funds, we may be required to accrue and pay taxes to repatriate the funds.

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2021, we had a net ~~decrease~~increase in borrowings of ~~$5.8 million, even with the incremental borrowings needed to finance our acquisition of AcademicWorks.

ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2020, we paid dividends of ~~$17.3~~$6.0 million ~~which was relatively consistent~~and we did not pay dividends during the same period in 2021, as we discontinued the declaration and payment of all cash dividends, beginning with the ~~comparable~~second quarter of 2020.

Cash used in financing activities associated with changes in restricted cash due to customers increased $42.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020, as the amount of ~~2016.~~restricted cash held and payable by us to customers as of December 31, 2020 was larger than at the same date in 2019 primarily due to the timing of year-end donations.

~~2017~~Stock repurchase program

In November 2020, our Board of Directors reauthorized and expanded a stock repurchase program that authorizes us to purchase up to $250.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. The program does not have an expiration date. Under the stock repurchase program, we are authorized to repurchase shares from time to time in accordance with applicable laws both on the open market, including under trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of repurchases depends on several factors, including market and business conditions, the trading price of our common stock and the nature of other investment opportunities. The repurchase program may be limited, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we purchased 465,821 shares for $28.1 million.

2020 Credit Facility

~~As discussed above, in June 2017,~~Historically, we entered into the 2017 Credit Facility. Upon closing, we drew $300.0 million on a term loan and $110.0 million in revolving credit loans, which was used to repay all amounts outstanding under our previous credit facility and for other general corporate purposes.

We have drawn on our credit facility from time to time to help us meet financial needs, ~~such as~~primarily due to the seasonality of our cash flows from operations and financing for business acquisitions. At ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2021, our available borrowing capacity under the ~~2017~~2020 Credit Facility was ~~$356.2~~$406.0 million. The ~~2017~~2020 Credit Facility matures in ~~June 2022.~~October 2025.

At ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2021, the carrying amount of our debt under the ~~2017~~2020 Credit Facility was ~~$335.8~~$488.8 million. Our average daily borrowings during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2021 were ~~$355.4 million and $368.5 million, respectively.~~$489.5 million.

The following is a summary of the financial covenants under ~~our credit facility:~~

Under the ~~2017~~2020 Credit Facility, we also have restrictions on our ability to declare and pay dividends and our ability to repurchase shares of our common stock. In order to pay any cash dividends and/or repurchase shares of stock: (i) no default or event of default shall have occurred and be continuing under the ~~2017~~2020 Credit Facility, and (ii) our pro forma net leverage ratio, as set forth in the ~~2017~~2020 Credit Facility, must be 0.25 less than the net leverage ratio requirement at the time of dividend declaration or share repurchase. At ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with our debt covenants under the ~~2017~~2020 Credit Facility.

The term loan under the ~~2017~~2020 Credit Facility and our other debt require periodic principal payments. The balance of the term loans and any amounts drawn on the revolving credit loans are due upon maturity of the ~~2017~~2020 Credit Facility in ~~June 2022.~~October 2025. The Real Estate Loans also require periodic principal payments and the balance of the Real Estate Loans are due upon maturity in April 2038.

The total liability for uncertain tax positions as of ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2020, was ~~$3.4~~$4.6 million and ~~$3.1~~$4.6 million, respectively.

In February 2017, our Board of Directors approved our annual dividend rate of $0.48 per share to be made in quarterly payments. Dividends at this annual rate would aggregate to $23.0 million assuming 48.0 million shares of common stock are outstanding, although dividends are not guaranteed and our Board of Directors may decide, in its absolute discretion, to change or suspend dividend payments at any time for any reason. Our ability to continue to declare and pay dividends quarterly this year and beyond might be restricted by, among other things, the terms of the 2017 Credit Facility, general economic conditions and our ability to generate adequate operating cash flow.

~~On October 25, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.12 per share payable on December 15, 2017 to stockholders of record on November 28, 2017.~~



Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Approximately ~~10%~~15% of our total revenue for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2021 was generated from operations outside the ~~United States.~~U.S. We do not have significant operations in countries in which the economy is considered to be highly inflationary. Our consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars and, accordingly, changes in the exchange rate between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar will affect the translation of our subsidiaries’ financial results into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting our consolidated financial results. The accumulated currency translation adjustment, recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss as a component of stockholders’ equity, was a ~~loss~~gain of ~~$0.9 million and $0.5~~$3.1 million as of ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2021 and a gain of $0.6 million as of December 31, ~~2016, respectively.~~2020.

The vast majority of our contracts are entered into by our U.S. or U.K. entities. The contracts entered into by the U.S. entity are almost always denominated in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars, and contracts entered into by our U.K., Australian and Irish subsidiaries are generally denominated in British Pounds, Australian dollars and Euros, respectively. Historically, as the U.S. dollar weakened, foreign currency translation resulted in an increase in our revenues and expenses denominated in non-U.S. currencies. Conversely, as the U.S. dollar strengthened, foreign currency translation resulted in a decrease in our revenue and expenses denominated in non-U.S. currencies. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2021, foreign translation resulted in ~~an decrease~~increases in our revenues and expenses denominated in non-U.S. currencies. Though we have exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, primarily those between the U.S. dollar and both the British Pound and Canadian dollar, the impact has generally not been material to our consolidated results of operations or financial position. For the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2021, the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates ~~had insignificant impacts on~~increased our total revenue and our income from ~~operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates decreased IMG revenue~~operations by ~~approximately $0.8 million.~~$2.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively. We will continue monitoring such exposure and take action as appropriate. To determine the impacts on revenue (or income from operations) from fluctuations in currency exchange rates, current period revenues (or income from operations) from entities reporting in foreign currencies were translated into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior year period's weighted average foreign currency exchange rates. These impacts are non-GAAP financial information and are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

In June and September 2017, we entered into a foreign currency option contract and a foreign currency forward contract, respectively, to hedge our exposure to currency fluctuations in connection with our acquisition of JustGiving, because the purchase price was denominated in British Pounds. See Note 9 of our consolidated financial statements in this report for additional information about these derivative instruments.



~~Inflation~~

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if inflationary pressures impact the rate of giving to our customers, there could be adverse impacts to our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2021 as compared to those disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2020.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We have market rate sensitivity for interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.



Interest Rate Risk

Our variable rate debt is our primary financial instrument with market risk exposure for changing interest rates. We manage our variable rate interest rate risk through a combination of short-term and long-term borrowings and the use of derivative instruments entered into for hedging purposes. Our interest rate exposure includes LIBOR rates. The Financial Conduct Authority in the U.K. has stated that it plans to phase out LIBOR by the end of calendar year 2021. We do not currently anticipate a significant impact to our financial position or results of operations as a result of this action as we expect that our financial contracts currently indexed to LIBOR will either expire or be modified without significant financial impact before the phase out occurs. Due to the nature of our debt, the materiality of the fair values of the derivative instruments and the highly liquid, short-term nature and level of our cash and cash equivalents as of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2021, we believe ~~there is no material~~that the risk of exposure to changing interest rates for those ~~positions.~~positions is immaterial. There were no significant changes in how we manage interest rate risk between December 31, ~~2016~~2020 and ~~September 30, 2017.~~

March 31, 2021.



Foreign Currency Risk

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) are designed only to provide reasonable assurance that they will meet their objectives. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide the reasonable assurance discussed above.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

For a discussion of our legal proceedings, see Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this report.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

~~Our operations and financial results~~We are ~~subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I,~~supplementing Item ~~IA, "Risk factors"~~1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2021 (the “Annual Report”). The following risk factors should be read in conjunction with the risk factors set forth in that Annual Report.


Operational Risks

The Security Incident could have numerous adverse effects on our business.

As previously disclosed, on July 16, 2020, we contacted certain customers to inform them about the Security Incident, including that in May 2020 we discovered and stopped a ransomware attack. Prior to our successfully preventing the cybercriminal from blocking our system access and fully encrypting files, and ultimately expelling them from our system with no significant disruption to our operations, the cybercriminal removed a copy of a subset of data from our self-hosted environment. Although the nature of the incident, our research and third party (including law enforcement) investigation have provided no reason to believe that any data went beyond the cybercriminal, was or will be misused, or will be disseminated or otherwise made available publicly, our investigation into the Security Incident remains ongoing and may provide additional information.

To date, we have received approximately 630 claims for reimbursement of expenses from customers or their attorneys related to the Security Incident (none of which have as yet been filed in court or in arbitration) and are in the process of assessing what liability may exist pursuant to such claims. Possible exposure could result from our customers’ costs and expenses associated with notifying their own constituents of the Security Incident and taking steps to assure that personal information has not been compromised as a result of the Security Incident. In addition, presently, we are a defendant in 30 putative consumer class action cases [27 in U.S. federal courts (some of which have been consolidated under multi district litigation to a single federal court), 1 in a U.S. state court and 2 in Canadian courts] alleging harm from the Security Incident. The plaintiffs in these cases, who generally purport to represent various classes of individual constituents of our customers, generally claim to have been harmed by alleged actions and/or omissions by us in connection with the Security Incident and assert a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees, and other related relief. To date, we also have received a consolidated, multi-state Civil Investigative Demand issued on behalf of 47 state Attorneys General and the District of Columbia and a separate Civil Investigative Demand from the office of the Illinois Attorney General’s Office relating to the Security Incident. In addition, we have received communications, inquires and requests from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Information Commissioner’s Office in the United Kingdom (the “ICO”) under the U.K. Data Protection Act 2018, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. (See Note 9 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a more detailed description of the Security Incident and related matters)

We may be named as a party in additional lawsuits, other claims may be asserted by or on behalf of our customers or their constituents, and we may be subject to additional governmental inquires, requests or investigations. Responding to and resolving these current and any future lawsuits, claims and/or investigations could result in material remedial and other expenses that may not be covered by insurance. Governmental authorities also may seek to impose undertakings, injunctive relief, consent decrees, or other civil or criminal penalties, which could, ~~adversely affect~~among other things, materially increase our data security costs or otherwise require us to alter how we operate our business. Although we intend to defend ourselves vigorously against the claims asserted against us, we cannot predict the potential outcomes, cost and expenses associated with current and any future claims, lawsuits, inquiries and investigations.

Significant management time and Company resources have been, and are expected to continue to be, devoted to the Security Incident. (See Note 9 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.) Although we carry insurance designed to protect us against certain losses related to cybersecurity events, that insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all expenses or other losses (including fines) or all types of claims that may arise in connection with cyberattacks, security compromises and other related incidents. Furthermore, in the future such insurance may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

Future publicity or developments related to the Security Incident could have a range of other adverse effects on our business ~~financial condition, results~~or prospects, including causing or contributing to loss of ~~operations, cash flows,~~customer confidence, reduced customer demand, reduced customer retention, strategic growth opportunities, and ~~the trading price of our stock. There have been no material changes to our risk factors since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.~~associated retention and recruiting difficulties.
